Chapter 43 We’re Even

“Karen White, you are forty-five years old and unemployed. That boy who went through surgery just now is not your son. He’s your stepson. You’ve never liked him and repeatedly stated that you wish for him to be dead. You seem pretty involved with his car accident preceding this. When the crash didn’t kill him, you wanted the doctor to perform surgery on him so he would die on the operating table. This way, you could make this hated stepson disappear and claim tons of money from the hospital. Am I wrong, Karen?”

With a thud, Karen fell onto the ground. Her lips were deathly white.
